RAWLINS, Thomas. FAMILIAR ARCHITECTURE; OR, ORIGINAL DESIGNS OF HOUSES, FOR GENTLEMEN AND TRADESMEN. London: I. and J. Taylor, 1789. Folio. Quarter-calf, marbled boards. 30, (4) pages, 50 plates. Second edition. [Harris, 731; Schimmelman, Architectural Bo in Early America, 112]. An uncommon title with only eight copies recorded on OCLC in American librari First published in 1768, Rawlins plans concentrate on both rural and city housing. The patterns are for parsonages, summer retreats, banqueting-rooms, and churches, as well as middle class housing. Many of the designs are Palladian in nature. There is also a chapter on stone masonry, not surprisin as Rawlins, who spent his life in Norwich, was more a successful mason and sculptor than an architect. Schimmelman locates copies in America before 180 A four-page catalogue for J. Taylor's Architectural Library is bound-in. Sympathetically rebacked; light sporadic foxing; else very good. (36841).
